Former President Donald Trump has secured a legal victory as a Florida Circuit Court Judge, Robert L. Pegg, denied the Pulitzer Prize Board's motion to dismiss his defamation lawsuit. The lawsuit challenges the Pulitzer Prize Board's reaffirmation of their 2022 prize for reporting on the 2016 Trump campaign's ties to Russia. Trump announced the court's decision during a rally in Michigan, celebrating the ruling as a significant win. This development marks another legal triumph for Trump amid ongoing legal battles. The libel case involves reports by the NYT and WaPo.
